About

Founding Hardware Engineer (Stealth Robotics Startup) On-Site • San Francisco, CA
We’re a tiny, fast-moving team building autonomous systems for heavy industrial machines. We retrofit existing equipment with a plug-and-play autonomy kit that taps directly into machine controls and layers on a full perception + connectivity stack: multi-sensor vision, LiDAR, high-precision GNSS, IMU, and a low-latency tele-operation network.
In just a few months, we’ve gone from first prototype to real machines operating on active job sites, with early recurring revenue and a growing pipeline of paid pilots. Our founding team has built and shipped hardware, software, and robotics systems before. You don’t want a cushy robotics lab job. You want to build robots in the mud, on real sites, under real constraints. You’d rather spend a week living out of a dusty RV next to a machine you’re debugging than polishing a slide deck. You’re a hacker at heart — the kind of person who gets a prototype working before most people finish their planning doc. As a founding Hardware / Mechatronics Engineer, you’ll design and build the core systems that enable remote operation, sensing, and autonomy assistance on industrial machines. You’ll work across mechanical, electrical, and embedded disciplines, often all in the same day.
Architect and build tele-operation hardware systems, including power, compute, and control modules for machine retrofits.
Electrical & Mechanical Integration ~ Work with vendors to bring designs from scrappy prototypes to reliable production, including DFM, testing, and validation.
Testing & Validation ~ Lead machine bring-up, HIL testing, and on-site debugging alongside software and autonomy engineers.
Produce schematics, harness drawings, CAD models, assembly docs, and anything else needed to build and scale the hardware.
Equity: ~1–3% Full health/dental/vision, relocation + visa support, downtown SF workspace with full electronics/mech prototyping tools, 401(k), high-spec laptop, and budget for any gear you need.
